Abstract
The classical 2D dynamics of a particle moving under an inverse square potential, −k/r2, is analysed. We show that such problem is an example of a geometric system since its negative energy orbits are equivalent to free motion on a certain hypersurface. We then solve in momentum space, the corresponding unrenormalized quantum problem showing that there is no discrete energy spectrum and, particularly, no ground state.
